Overview

About 5 Alan Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Alan Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 8EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2013) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 95). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 sits 50.9% above the 2007 sale of £146,500.
