How the estimate is made
The estimate for 330a is modelled from its 227 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0ET. 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 330a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
330a is a four-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0ET). It has a recorded floor area of 227 m² (around 2443 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 227 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £668,000 is 16.2% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £575,000 in January 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 330a is modelled from its 227 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0ET. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 330a. 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 330a was lodged in October 2013 at band C and expired in October 2023, 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. 3 applications are matched to 330a. 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 CO4 0ET, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 330a 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.
