How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Cardigan Street is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 3PF.

About 16 Cardigan Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Cardigan Street is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP1 3PF). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1236 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2009 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 19.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 15% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

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 16 Cardigan Street is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 3PF. 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 16 Cardigan 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 16 Cardigan Street was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 16 Cardigan 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 3PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Cardigan Street is in council tax band C. 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.
