Overview

About 8 Blackbourne Road

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

8 Blackbourne Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP30 9UH). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 545 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 sits 60% above the 2009 sale of £120,000. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
