Overview

About 8 Porter Road

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

8 Porter Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Purdis Farm, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP3 8UY). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 10th 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 bottom. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2021); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2021 for £128,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
