How the estimate is made

The estimate for Orchard House is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 7AQ. 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.

Overview

About Orchard House

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

Orchard House is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Milden, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 7AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2007. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £551,000 is 22.4% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm.

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 Orchard House is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP7 7AQ. 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 Orchard House. 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 Orchard House was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, 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 Orchard House. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from IP7 7AQ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Orchard House 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.
