How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7DT. 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 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7DT). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 58.4% above the 2016 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.

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 2a is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7DT. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, 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 2a. 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 CO2 7DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
