About 8 Benezet Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Benezet Street is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 2JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 46 m² this is the 16th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–143 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 30 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 73.6% below the 2018 sale of £455,000, 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 (£919/sq ft) was about 78.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 8 years since the last transfer (February 2018).

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 8 Benezet Street is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 2JQ. 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 8 Benezet Street. 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 8 Benezet Street was lodged in August 2014 at band C and expired in August 2024, 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 8 Benezet Street. 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 2JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Benezet Street 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.
