Overview

About 3 Wootton Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Wootton Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 3RT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 77 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 75–254 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 is 15.7% below the 2022 sale of £575,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£694/sq ft) was about 184.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 77 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 5 EPCs). Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £575,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Wootton Drive is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 3RT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Wootton Drive. 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 3 Wootton Drive was lodged in February 2021 at band D and is valid until February 2031. 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 3 Wootton Drive. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 3RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Wootton Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
