Overview

About 31 Caelum Drive

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

31 Caelum Drive is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 8FN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2019); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 45 m² this is the 6th smallest of 67 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 67 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 66 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 15.8% above the 2008 sale price.

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 31 Caelum Drive is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 8FN. 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 31 Caelum Drive. 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 31 Caelum Drive was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 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 31 Caelum Drive. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO2 8FN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Caelum Drive 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.
