The estimate for 2 West Lodge Bungalows is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0DE. 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.

Overview

About 2 West Lodge Bungalows

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

2 West Lodge Bungalows is a detached house in Blackheath, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2023); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 25% below the 2024 sale of £300,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

At 21 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: May 2024 at £300,000.

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 2 West Lodge Bungalows is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0DE. 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 2 West Lodge Bungalows. 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 2 West Lodge Bungalows was lodged in January 2025 at band E and is valid until January 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 West Lodge Bungalows. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 0DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 West Lodge Bungalows is in council tax band B. 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.
