About 58a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
58a is a two-bedroom property in Ipswich (IP3 9EX). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 717 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in April 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 67 m² it's 25.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 20 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 122.7% above the 1995 sale of £75,000.
