Overview

About Lewiston

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

Lewiston is a three-bedroom detached house in Kersey, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6EH). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 sits 57.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, 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 Lewiston is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Lewiston. 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 Lewiston was lodged in September 2025 at band D and is valid until September 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Lewiston. 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
Lewiston is in council tax band D. 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.
