Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 1HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 73 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 72–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to F, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (34 versus a worst of 7). The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in November 2020 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). Main heating runs on electricity.

Sold August 2021 for £185,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
