How the estimate is made
The estimate for 34 Blackheath is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0AA. 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 34 Blackheath
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34 Blackheath is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1359 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2010–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 103.9% above the 2012 sale of £207,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 31.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 34 Blackheath is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0AA. 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 34 Blackheath. 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 34 Blackheath was lodged in February 2010 at band E and expired in February 2020, 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 34 Blackheath. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 0AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 34 Blackheath is in council tax band D. 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.
