Overview

About 29 Beaconsfield Avenue

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

29 Beaconsfield Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 207 m² (around 2228 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 33). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

At 207 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 sits 59.7% above the 2015 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 11 years since the last transfer (November 2015).

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 29 Beaconsfield Avenue is modelled from its 207 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 3DH. 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 29 Beaconsfield Avenue. 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 29 Beaconsfield Avenue was lodged in April 2016 at band G and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 29 Beaconsfield Avenue. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 3DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29 Beaconsfield Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
