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). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 £220,000 is 38.4% above the 2007 sale price.
