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.

Overview

About 1 Coach House

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

1 Coach House is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 3HA). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to E, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (43 versus a worst of 18). The latest certificate (November 2024) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£362/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 1 Coach House is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 3HA. 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 1 Coach House. 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 1 Coach House was lodged in November 2024 at band E and is valid until November 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Coach House. 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 3HA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
