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 £501,000 sits 54.2% 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.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Fulford Close is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP28 6UP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Fulford Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Fulford Close was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 8 Fulford Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP28 6UP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Fulford Close is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
