About 8 Wolsey Street
8 Wolsey Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 70 m² this is the 24th 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 £172,000 is 13.1% 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 (£263/sq ft) was about 17.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
