Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Last changed hands 12 years ago, in October 2014. Across 2013–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 38.9% above the 2014 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.

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 12a is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 4LN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 12a. 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 12a was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 12a. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 4LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12a 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.
