About Flat 4
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 4 is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft). At 37 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–44 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.
Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 29% below the 2009 sale of £421,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1BJ. 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 Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in April 2018 at band C and is valid until April 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 4. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 1BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
