How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2ET. 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 9a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9a is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 2ET). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 16 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 33.5% below the 2019 sale of £177,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£393/sq ft) was about 243.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sale on file: £177,500 in April 2019.

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 9a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2ET. 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 9a. 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 9a was lodged in October 2022 at band D and is valid until October 2032. 3 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 9a. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 2ET, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9a 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.
