Overview

About Melford

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Melford is a three-bedroom detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 249 m² (around 2682 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since February 2011, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £774,000 sits 50.3% above the 2011 sale of £515,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Melford is modelled from its 249 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0AE. 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 Melford. 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 Melford was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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 Melford. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 0AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Melford is in council tax band F. 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.
