Overview

About 16 Matson Road

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

16 Matson Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4ET). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 36 m² this is the 8th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 is 39.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 55.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

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 16 Matson Road is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 4ET. 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 16 Matson 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 16 Matson Road was lodged in March 2020 at band E and is valid until March 2030. 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 16 Matson 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 4ET, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Matson 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.
