Overview

About 12 Gilbert Court

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

12 Gilbert Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO1 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 774 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2010) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 72 m² this is the 40th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (86 versus a worst of 73).

It hasn't traded since March 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 72 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 49 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 28.2% above the 2009 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 12 Gilbert Court is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1DL. 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 12 Gilbert Court. 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 12 Gilbert Court was lodged in April 2010 at band B and expired in April 2020, 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. None is matched to 12 Gilbert Court. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Gilbert Court is in council tax band B. 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.
