How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Fison Cottage is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0JB. 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 3 Fison Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Fison Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 0JB). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold December 2021 for £220,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 37.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.

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 3 Fison Cottage is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0JB. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 3 Fison Cottage. 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 3 Fison Cottage was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Fison Cottage. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 0JB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Fison Cottage 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.
