About 38 Wolsey Street
38 Wolsey Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 97 m² this is the 46th 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.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
