About 5 Woodhouse Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Woodhouse Square is a mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1NE). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 66 m² this is the 29th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

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 5 Woodhouse Square is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1NE. 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 5 Woodhouse Square. 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 5 Woodhouse Square was lodged in August 2024 at band C and is valid until August 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Woodhouse Square. 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 1NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Woodhouse Square 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.
