About 12a
12a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cavendish, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 8AE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 is 38.4% above the 2007 sale price.
