About 2 Faraday Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Faraday Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 1PU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 102 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 40 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 83% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £305,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Faraday Road is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 1PU. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 2 Faraday Road. 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 Faraday Road was lodged in October 2013 at band F and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 Faraday Road. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 1PU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Faraday Road 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.
