About 198 Felixstowe Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
198 Felixstowe Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP3 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1769 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in May 2010. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 95% above the 2010 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm.
