About Flat 308
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 308 is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 1NA). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 248 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 23 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (23–53 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 50 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 47.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£299/sq ft) was about 63.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it's 17.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (28 m² median across 49 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 308 is modelled from its 23 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1NA. 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 308. 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 308 was lodged in September 2021 at band C and is valid until September 2031. 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 Flat 308. 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 1NA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 308 is in council tax band A. 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.
