Overview

About 36 St Botolphs Street

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

36 St Botolphs Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7EA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 685 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump.

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 36 St Botolphs Street is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7EA. 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 36 St Botolphs Street. 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 36 St Botolphs Street was lodged in January 2009 at band F and expired in January 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. 2 applications are matched to 36 St Botolphs Street. 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 7EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
36 St Botolphs Street is in council tax band C. 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.
