About 3 Belgrave Place
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Belgrave Place is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2GP). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Other recorded features include a balcony.
It hasn't traded since June 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 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 is 43.2% above the 2007 sale price.

- The estimate for 3 Belgrave Place is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 2GP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Belgrave Place. 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 3 Belgrave Place was lodged in October 2022 at band C and is valid until October 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
