Overview

About 7 Blackbourne Road

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

7 Blackbourne Road is a detached house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9UH). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 150% above the 2001 sale of £139,995.
