45a, Myrtle Road, Ipswich, IP3 0AL
About 45a
45a is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0AL). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the 4th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 114.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
