Overview

About 5 Belgrave Place

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

5 Belgrave Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2GP). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 71.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: October 2023 at £200,500.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Belgrave Place is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 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 5 Belgrave Place was lodged in January 2014 at band D and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Belgrave Place. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 2GP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Belgrave Place 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.
