How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Wolsey Street is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1AF.

About 26 Wolsey Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26 Wolsey Street is a two-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 693 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2011) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 64 m² this is the 7th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.
Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 28.3% below the 2007 sale of £197,995, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 31.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 26 Wolsey Street is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1AF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 26 Wolsey Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 Wolsey Street was lodged in November 2011 at band B and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 Wolsey Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 1AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26 Wolsey Street is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
