Overview

About 7 Meadowside Gardens

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

7 Meadowside Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Rushmere St. Andrew, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP4 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in May 2015. Today's modelled estimate of £515,000 is 42.3% above the 2015 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Meadowside Gardens is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 5RD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Meadowside Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 7 Meadowside Gardens was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Meadowside Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 5RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Meadowside Gardens is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
