About 205 Foundry
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
205 Foundry is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1FP). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2019) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 35 m² this is the 18th smallest of 97 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 35 m² it's 23.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (46 m² median across 96 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 is 29.5% above the 2009 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 205 Foundry is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1FP. 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 205 Foundry. 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 205 Foundry was lodged in January 2019 at band B and is valid until January 2029. 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 205 Foundry. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 1FP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 205 Foundry is in council tax band A. 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.
