How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 4 is modelled from its 63 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 4
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 4 is a two-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 63 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–80 m². On EPC score it ranks first in the building (67 versus a worst of 61). The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since May 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 50% above the 2005 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 63 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 4 is modelled from its 63 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 4. 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 4 was lodged in February 2026 at band D and is valid until February 2036. 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 4. 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 4 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.
