Overview

About 29 Castle Road

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

29 Castle Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 5DY). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 12 EPCs). Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 41.5% above the 2007 sale price.
