Overview

About 14 Benacre Road

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

14 Benacre Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP3 9LE). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 112% above the 2004 sale of £124,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm.
