The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 3DU. 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.

1a is a detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63).
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 is 42.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 24.1% below the postcode norm.
1a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
