How the estimate is made
The estimate for Sherwood is modelled from its 181 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales 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 Sherwood
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Sherwood is a detached house in Langham, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5PF). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil.
At 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2010. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Sherwood is modelled from its 181 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales 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. 4 sales are recorded for Sherwood. 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 Sherwood was lodged in July 2023 at band D and is valid until July 2033. 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 Sherwood. 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
- Sherwood 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.
