About 9 Forge Close
9 Forge Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Palgrave, Diss, Diss (IP22 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 395 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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 £278,000 sits 79.4% above the 2009 sale of £155,000.
