About Orchard Villa
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Orchard Villa is a four-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 sits 358.9% above the 1995 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 64.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (154 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Orchard Villa is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE32 2AR. 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 Orchard Villa. 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 Orchard Villa was lodged in August 2018 at band E and is valid until August 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
