About 33 Beaconsfield Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
33 Beaconsfield Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 60% above the 2010 sale of £300,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 33 Beaconsfield Avenue is modelled from its 144 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 33 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 33 Beaconsfield Avenue was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 33 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
- 33 Beaconsfield Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
