How the estimate is made
The estimate for Apartment 202 is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0BP. 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 Apartment 202
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 202 is a property in Ipswich (IP3 0BP). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 860 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 80 m² this is the 26th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 80 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 33 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 10% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £160,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Apartment 202 is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0BP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Apartment 202. 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 Apartment 202 was lodged in August 2010 at band D and expired in August 2020, 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 Apartment 202. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 0BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Apartment 202 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.
