About The Ford

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

The Ford is a three-bedroom detached house in Topcroft, Bungay, Bungay (NR35 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 21.5% above the 2021 sale price.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
