About 1 The Old Maltings
1 The Old Maltings is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hopton, Diss, Diss (IP22 2QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since November 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. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 is 20% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
