Overview

About Tallow Cottage

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

Tallow Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Elmsett, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6PF). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 is 35.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 51.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
