About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 2UR). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 21.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 110.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in November 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
