How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3c is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1PN. 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.

About 3c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3c is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 1PN). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (56–74 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (50 versus a worst of 39). The latest certificate (February 2020) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since April 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 27.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 124.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 3c is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 1PN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3c. 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 3c was lodged in February 2020 at band E and is valid until February 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 3c. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 1PN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3c 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.
