About 5 Grimwade Street
5 Grimwade Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1LS). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 78.9% above the 2007 sale of £114,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 46.5% below the postcode norm.
