Overview

About The Finches

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

The Finches is a detached house in Rede, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP29 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 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. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £408,000 sits 63.2% above the 2009 sale of £249,995. At 122 m² it sits well below the postcode median (181 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
