About 20 Diamond Close
20 Diamond Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 5HN). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 92.9% above the 2006 sale of £141,000.
