Overview

About 5 Bildeston Gardens

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

5 Bildeston Gardens is a detached house in Ipswich (IP4 2UA). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £594,000 sits 198.5% above the 1998 sale of £199,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 49.2% below the postcode norm.
