Overview

About 7 Porter Road

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

7 Porter Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Purdis Farm, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP3 8UY). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the 6th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–72 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Porter Road is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 8UY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 Porter 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 7 Porter Road was lodged in July 2022 at band C and is valid until July 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Porter 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 8UY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Porter Road is in council tax band A. 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.
