Overview

About 17 Brooks Hall Road

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

17 Brooks Hall Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 2013–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £515,000 is 11.2% below the 2024 sale of £580,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 77.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Last sale on file: £580,000 in July 2024.
