Overview

About Laburnum Cottage

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

Laburnum Cottage is a detached house in Gedding, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 0QE). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £560,000 is 43.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£312/sq ft) was about 66.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
