Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 71a is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 2UT. 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.

71a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in CO1 2UT: £171,000 (2026–2025).

71a is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO1 2UT). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 61 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–132 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 39 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 60 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs).
The EPC has just been inspected, so the rating reflects current condition.
