Overview

About 31 Anchor Road

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

31 Anchor Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 66.8% above the 2014 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2017. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 92 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). On the market in May 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 31 Anchor Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0AP. 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 31 Anchor Road. 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 31 Anchor Road was lodged in November 2013 at band E and expired in November 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. 1 application is matched to 31 Anchor Road. 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 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 0AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Anchor Road is in council tax band C. 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.
