About 3 Alan Road
3 Alan Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 8EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 809.4% above the 1996 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£26/sq ft) was about 85.7% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
