40 Wolsey Street, Ipswich, IP1 1AF
About 40 Wolsey Street
40 Wolsey Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 55 m² this is the 2nd 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 across 48 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor.
Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 is 35% below the 2007 sale of £199,995, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 55.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since September 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. At 55 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 47 EPCs).
