How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 12 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale 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.

About Flat 12
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 12 is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 3SS). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–64 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 66). The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 19 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 12 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale 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. No sale is recorded for Flat 12, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 12 was lodged in May 2026 at band D and is valid until May 2036. 3 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 Flat 12. 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 12 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.
