About Abbeyfields
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Abbeyfields is a three-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 27.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 126 m² it's 18.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (154 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
