About 7a
7a is an end-of-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 5RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 60 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (60–159 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since March 1998, a hold of 28 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 £167,000 sits 156.9% above the 1998 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 41.3% below the postcode norm.
