How the estimate is made

The estimate for 94a is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0AA. 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 94a

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

94a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 26 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–227 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year.

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 94a is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0AA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 94a. 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 94a was lodged in June 2020 at band E and is valid until June 2030. 2 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 94a. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO4 0AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
94a is in council tax band A. 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.
