Flat 9 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in July 2006. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 40.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
