Overview

About 17 Essex Way

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

17 Essex Way is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Purdis Farm, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP3 8SN). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 499 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 sits 67.8% above the 2007 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 18.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
