How the estimate is made
The estimate for 168 Goring Road is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0DD. 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.

About 168 Goring Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
168 Goring Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 99.1% above the 2013 sale of £109,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 36.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 168 Goring Road is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0DD. 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 168 Goring 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 168 Goring Road was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, 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. None is matched to 168 Goring 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO4 0DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 168 Goring Road 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.
