About 5 Hope Court
5 Hope Court is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 469 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the 4th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 15.5% below the 2007 sale of £139,650, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 41.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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 44 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 10 EPCs).
