Flat 1, 118 Northgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1HQ

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 9 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since July 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. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 14.3% above the 2007 sale price.
