Overview

About Flat 12

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

Flat 12 is a three-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. At 154 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (56–154 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (58 versus a best of 82). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2008–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 is 26.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 31.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 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 Flat 12 is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1BS. 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 Flat 12. 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 Flat 12 was lodged in August 2021 at band D and is valid until August 2031. 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 Flat 12. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 1BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 12 is in council tax band F. 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.
