About 1 Chapel Row
1 Chapel Row is an end-of-terrace house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9EG). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 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. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 is 33.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£644/sq ft) was about 165.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
