Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 8a is modelled from its 24 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1BB. 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.

8a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in IP4 1BB: £108,500 (2024–2007).

8a is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
