About 36a
36a is a four-bedroom detached house in Barton Mills, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6AA). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 sits 88.1% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 15.7% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 172 m² it's 16.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (148 m² median across 42 EPCs).
