About 17 Christchurch Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Christchurch Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 2DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 60 m² this is the 22nd smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2008–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 sits 90.5% above the 2012 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 41.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 17 Christchurch Court is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 2DQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Christchurch Court. 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 17 Christchurch Court was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, 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 17 Christchurch Court. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 2DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Christchurch Court 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.
