Overview

About Stuart House

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

Stuart House is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 69 m² this is the 43rd smallest of 51 units on EPC record in Stuart House, where floor areas span 37–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 51 units on file.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 28% above the 2014 sale price.

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 Stuart House is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1BQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Stuart 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 Stuart House was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Stuart 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Stuart House 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.
