About 17 Hope Court
17 Hope Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–70 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2021) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£291/sq ft) was about 38.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
