The estimate for 5 Upper Street is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 5JX. 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.

5 Upper Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Layham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 5JX). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 is 44.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 25.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
