How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2HT. 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 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 36 m² this is the 7th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 59.1% above the 2007 sale of £68,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 1 is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2HT. 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 Flat 1. 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 1 was lodged in May 2020 at band E and is valid until May 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 Flat 1. 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 2HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 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.
