The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 3SS. 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.

Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 3SS). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 84 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 69–149 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 sits 87.2% above the 2000 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 27.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2000.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 3SS. 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 August 2013 at band C and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 3SS, 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 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.
