How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2EX. 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 Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 437 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (41–80 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (61 versus a best of 67). The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2001 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 234.3% above the 2001 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (177 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 3 is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2EX. 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 3. 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 3 was lodged in November 2010 at band D and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 3. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 2EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 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.
