Overview

About 12 Boston Road

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

12 Boston Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 4EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 114.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £225,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
