How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2b Wick Terrace is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 5PF. 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 2b Wick Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2b Wick Terrace is a detached house in Langham, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.

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 2b Wick Terrace is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 5PF. 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. No sale is recorded for 2b Wick Terrace, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 2b Wick Terrace was lodged in May 2019 at band E and is valid until May 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2b Wick Terrace. 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 2 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO4 5PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2b Wick Terrace 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.
