The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 0YP. 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.

1a is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0YP). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 is 45.2% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 50.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
