How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 2HT). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 21 m² this is the 2nd 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. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. 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 £129,000 sits 1072.7% above the 1998 sale of £11,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 67.1% below the postcode norm. At 21 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 29 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 2 is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 2. 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 2 was lodged in April 2021 at band E and is valid until April 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. 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 2 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.
