About 2 St Edmund House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 St Edmund House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1NF). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft) and council tax band B. At 75 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in 2 St Edmund House, where floor areas span 31–145 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (46 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2015); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 75 m² it's 22.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 72 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 15.8% above the 2016 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 2 St Edmund House is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1NF. 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 2 St Edmund House. 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 2 St Edmund House was lodged in June 2016 at band E and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 2 St Edmund House. 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 1NF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 St Edmund House is in council tax band B. 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.
