Local market context
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.
