About 16 Kelvin Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Kelvin Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 5EH). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 58.1% above the 2014 sale of £215,000. At 119 m² it's 20.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 16 EPCs). Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Kelvin Road is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 5EH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Kelvin 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 Kelvin Road was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Kelvin 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 5EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Kelvin Road is in council tax band C. 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.
