How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24 Barrington Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7RP. 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 24 Barrington Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Barrington Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7RP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 480.6% above the 1998 sale of £38,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 72.1% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 24 Barrington Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 7RP. 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 24 Barrington 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 24 Barrington Road was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, 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 24 Barrington 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 7RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24 Barrington 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.
