About 1 Red Brick Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1134 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Red Brick Cottage is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE8 5BL. 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 1 Red Brick 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 1 Red Brick Cottage was lodged in February 2012 at band F and expired in February 2022, 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 1 Red Brick 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PE8 5BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
