About Apartment 306
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 306 is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (45–101 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2016) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 10 years since the last transfer (December 2016). Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -2% per year.

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 306 is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0BU. 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 Apartment 306. 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 306 was lodged in August 2016 at band B and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 306. 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 0BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Apartment 306 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.
