How the estimate is made
The estimate for 14 Elmhurst Drive is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0PA.

About 14 Elmhurst Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Elmhurst Drive is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 0PA). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1438 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 66.3% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 35.1% below the postcode norm. 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 14 Elmhurst Drive is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 0PA. 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 14 Elmhurst Drive. 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 14 Elmhurst Drive was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, 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 14 Elmhurst Drive. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 0PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Elmhurst Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
