Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 5b is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1LN. 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.

5b has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.

5b is a mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1LN). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
