The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 3RZ. 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 four-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 3RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £625,000 sits 119.3% above the 2004 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 34.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
1a's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.
