About 5 Lark Valley Court
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.
