Overview

About 40 Wolsey Street

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

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).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 40 Wolsey Street is modelled from its 55 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 40 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 40 Wolsey Street was lodged in January 2020 at band C and is valid until January 2030. 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 40 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
40 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.
