About Highland House
Highland House is a four-bedroom detached house in Palgrave, Diss, Diss (IP22 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2301 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £606,000 sits 75.7% above the 2009 sale of £345,000.
