Overview

About 1 Castle Road

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

1 Castle Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury St Edmunds (IP33 3NL). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 is 45.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 41.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
