Overview

About 4 College Street

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

4 College Street is a semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1BF). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 358 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–88 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 80.6% below the 2016 sale of £660,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in October 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 College Street is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1BF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 College Street. 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 4 College Street was lodged in December 2009 at band C and expired in December 2019, 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 4 College Street. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 1BF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
