About 2 Skipper Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Skipper Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 64 m² this is the 7th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–90 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

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 2 Skipper Grove is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 0AP. 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 2 Skipper Grove. 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 2 Skipper Grove was lodged in January 2026 at band C and is valid until January 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 2 Skipper Grove. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 0AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Skipper Grove 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.
