How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 2DU. 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.

About 21a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2DU). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 is 33.5% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 14 years since the last transfer (September 2012).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 21a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 2DU. 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 21a. 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 21a was lodged in April 2012 at band C and expired in April 2022, 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 21a. 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 2DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21a is in council tax band C. 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.
