How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Cannon Street is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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 23 Cannon Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Cannon Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2DU). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 790 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 sits 79.8% above the 2011 sale of £114,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 29.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 73 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 23 Cannon Street is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Cannon Street. 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 23 Cannon Street was lodged in May 2009 at band E and expired in May 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 23 Cannon Street. 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
- 23 Cannon Street 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.
