Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 18 George Street is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 5BB. 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.

18 George Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hadleigh, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 5BB). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–192 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (December 2019) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 20.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 83.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
