Overview

About 17 Faraday Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Faraday Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 1PU). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 876 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 sits 54.7% above the 2009 sale of £139,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
