Overview

About 4 Muscade Close

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

4 Muscade Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2003–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 80.7% above the 2012 sale of £150,500. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 4 Muscade Close is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0DL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Muscade Close. 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 4 Muscade Close was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Muscade Close. 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 0DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Muscade Close is in council tax band B. 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.
