Overview

About Hillcrest

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

Hillcrest is a four-bedroom detached house in Elmsett, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6PF). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 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 January 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (161 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £638,000 sits 90.4% above the 2009 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 16.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, 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 Hillcrest is modelled from its 226 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 6PF. 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 Hillcrest. 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 Hillcrest was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 Hillcrest. 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 1 school and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP7 6PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Hillcrest is in council tax band E. 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.
