Overview

About Fern Cottage

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

Fern Cottage is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE32 1SF). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 654 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 sits 52.9% above the 2009 sale of £104,000. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

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 Fern Cottage is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE32 1SF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Fern Cottage. 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 Fern Cottage was lodged in December 2008 at band E and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Fern Cottage. 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 1SF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fern Cottage is in council tax band A. 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.
