About 261 Duke Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
261 Duke Street is an end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2016. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 48 m² this is the 5th 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 across 29 units on file.
Across 2008–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 11.7% below the 2023 sale of £120,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 32.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it's 22.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2023 at £120,000.

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 261 Duke Street is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 261 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 261 Duke Street was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 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 261 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
- 261 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.
