Overview

About Laurel Cottage

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

Laurel Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (114 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 76.4% above the 2014 sale of £112,250. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Laurel Cottage is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE32 1SG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Laurel 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 Laurel Cottage was lodged in January 2014 at band G and expired in January 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to Laurel 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 1SG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Laurel Cottage is in council tax band B. 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.
