How the estimate is made
The estimate for 251 Duke Street is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0BX. 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 251 Duke Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
251 Duke Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2022) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 60 m² this is the 6th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.
Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

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 251 Duke Street is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0BX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 251 Duke Street. 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 251 Duke Street was lodged in July 2022 at band B and is valid until July 2032. 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 251 Duke Street. 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 0BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 251 Duke Street 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.
