Overview

About 5 Blackbird Road

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

5 Blackbird Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Beck Row, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 8HL). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £98,000.
