Apartment 403, 3 Anchor Street, Ipswich, IP3 0BU

Apartment 403 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2020) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 66 m² this is the 18th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 35.2% below the 2005 sale of £250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since December 2005 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
