Overview

About 3 Kingsgate Drive

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

3 Kingsgate Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ipswich (IP4 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 54.9% above the 2007 sale of £197,500. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
