Overview

About Claudius Court

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

Claudius Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the 8th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in Claudius Court, where floor areas span 48–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 232.6% above the 1999 sale of £44,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 24.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).

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 Claudius Court is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1EQ. 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 Claudius 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 Claudius Court was lodged in January 2019 at band D and is valid until January 2029. 2 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 Claudius 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1EQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Claudius 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.
