How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20 Beche Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7LS. 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 20 Beche Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Beche Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7LS). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2015–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 is 23.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 20 Beche Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7LS. 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 20 Beche Road. 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 20 Beche Road was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, 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. None is matched to 20 Beche Road. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 7LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Beche Road 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.
