Overview

About 48 Waterloo Road

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

48 Waterloo Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4EA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–125 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in November 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 240% above the 1999 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 51.9% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 48 Waterloo Road is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 4EA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 48 Waterloo 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 48 Waterloo Road was lodged in September 2019 at band D and is valid until September 2029. 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 48 Waterloo 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 4EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
48 Waterloo Road 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.
