Overview

About 18 Brookfield Road

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

18 Brookfield Road is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4EN). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 88.7% above the 2008 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 18.7% below the postcode norm.
