Overview

About 8 Belle Vue Road

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

8 Belle Vue Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1XA). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 41.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 26.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Belle Vue Road is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1XA. 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 8 Belle Vue Road. 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 8 Belle Vue Road was lodged in June 2019 at band D and is valid until June 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Belle Vue Road. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1XA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Belle Vue Road is in council tax band A. 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.
