Overview

About 36a

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

36a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1998–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 68% above the 2006 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 70 m² it's 23.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 22 EPCs).

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 36a is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 4DH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 36a. 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 36a was lodged in March 2010 at band D and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 36a. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 4DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
36a is in council tax band B. 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.
