Overview

About 5 Vale Lane

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

5 Vale Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Kersey, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6EH). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £469,000 sits 59% above the 2010 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 24.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 5 Vale Lane is modelled from its 164 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 6EH. 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 5 Vale Lane. 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 5 Vale Lane was lodged in March 2010 at band D and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Vale Lane. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP7 6EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Vale Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
