Are new homes being built in Long Melford?

7 of the 126 postcodes now in use in Long Melford came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to September 2025, 13 of the 94 homes sold in Long Melford were newly built (14%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the CO10 district, 8%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

New homes among the homes sold

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Long Melford at risk of flooding?

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 14 of 126 postcodes High: 20Medium: 6Low: 24

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
