Overview

About 12 Brigadier House

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

12 Brigadier House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7LD). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. At 74 m² this is the 10th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–167 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£358/sq ft) was about 42.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 12 Brigadier House is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7LD. 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 12 Brigadier House. 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 12 Brigadier House was lodged in June 2025 at band C and is valid until June 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. None is matched to 12 Brigadier House. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 7LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Brigadier House 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.
