About 13 Blandford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Blandford Road is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 8SL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2020) returns a high B (score 90), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 94).
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 84 m² it's 29.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 107.7% above the 2009 sale of £143,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 41.5% below the postcode norm.

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 13 Blandford Road is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 8SL. 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 13 Blandford Road. 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 13 Blandford Road was lodged in June 2020 at band B and is valid until June 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 13 Blandford Road. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 8SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Blandford Road 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.
