Overview

About 5 Suffolk Close

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

5 Suffolk Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 51.2% above the 2009 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 22.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it's 25.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 37 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 5 Suffolk Close is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0AY. 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 5 Suffolk Close. 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 5 Suffolk Close was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 5 Suffolk Close. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO4 0AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Suffolk Close is in council tax band C. 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.
