Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 4PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 239 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 22 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (22–111 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 22 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£647/sq ft) was about 326.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2024 for £154,818. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
