Overview

About 24 King Coel Road

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

24 King Coel Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 9AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 211 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £673,000 sits 89.6% above the 2007 sale of £355,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 36.7% below the postcode norm.

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 24 King Coel Road is modelled from its 211 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 9AQ. 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 24 King Coel Road. 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 24 King Coel Road was lodged in May 2024 at band C and is valid until May 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 24 King Coel Road. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 9AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 King Coel Road 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.
