How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 6BA. 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.

About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 6BA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since September 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 85.4% above the 2003 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 2a is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP1 6BA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in January 2009 at band D and expired in January 2019, 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 2a. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP1 6BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2a is in council tax band B. 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.
