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 £513,000 is 11.6% 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 71.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 221 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 34 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.

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 17 Brooks Hall Road is modelled from its 221 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 4BY. 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 17 Brooks Hall Road. 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 17 Brooks Hall Road was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 17 Brooks Hall Road. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 4BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Brooks Hall Road 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.
