About 1 Blackheath
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Blackheath is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 928 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in June 2006. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 84.8% above the 2006 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 22.9% below the postcode norm. At 86 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Blackheath is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0AE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 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 1 Blackheath was lodged in December 2009 at band C and expired in December 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 1 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 0AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 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.
