About 12 Birkdale Court
12 Birkdale Court is a detached house in Fornham St. Martin, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6XF). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 813 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 84% above the 2009 sale of £200,500.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
