Overview

About Fiveways Farmhouse

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

Fiveways Farmhouse is a four-bedroom detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0QR). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1341 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 sits 67.5% above the 2011 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 37.9% below the postcode norm.

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 Fiveways Farmhouse is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 0QR. 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 Fiveways Farmhouse. 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 Fiveways Farmhouse was lodged in October 2010 at band E and expired in October 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to Fiveways Farmhouse. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 0QR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fiveways Farmhouse is in council tax band F. 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.
