About 15a
15a is a detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 824 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 46.5% above the 2009 sale price.
