Overview

About 86b

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

86b is a semi-detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0HD). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–226 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 68.8% above the 2008 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 18 EPCs).

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 86b is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 0HD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 86b. 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 86b was lodged in October 2019 at band C and is valid until October 2029. 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 86b. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 0HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
86b is in council tax band A. 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.
