Overview

About 5 Lark Valley Court

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

5 Lark Valley Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Fornham St. Martin, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 80 m² it's 19.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 13 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 43.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm.
