About Flat 6
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 6 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1LE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 37 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.
Held since September 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 135.7% above the 2002 sale of £56,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 6 is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1LE. 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 Flat 6. 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 Flat 6 was lodged in October 2019 at band E and is valid until October 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 Flat 6. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
