How the estimate is made
The estimate for 208a is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 9AE. 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.

About 208a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
208a is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP3 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 37 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–201 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 18 units on file.
It hasn't traded since October 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 34% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£487/sq ft) was about 378.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 208a is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 9AE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 208a. 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 208a was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 208a. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 9AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 208a 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.
