About 18 Kirby Street
18 Kirby Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 4PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £231,000 sits 621.9% above the 1996 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£35/sq ft) was about 77.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
