Overview

About 5 Mill Road Drive

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

5 Mill Road Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Purdis Farm, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP3 8UT). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 sits 54.4% above the 2009 sale of £248,000.
