About 8 Diamond Close
8 Diamond Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP1 5HN). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 993 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 sits 72.5% above the 2009 sale of £119,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 22.5% below the postcode norm.
