Overview

About 1 Old Rectory

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Old Rectory is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2347 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £635,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Old Rectory is modelled from its 218 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE32 1DU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Old Rectory. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Old Rectory was lodged in September 2019 at band D and is valid until September 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Old Rectory. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PE32 1DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Old Rectory is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
