Overview

About 8 Fulford Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Fulford Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Fornham St. Martin, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6UP). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1702 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since August 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 £543,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 30.9% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
