Overview

About 4 Spinneyfields

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

4 Spinneyfields is a four-bedroom detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0EE). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £483,000 is 20.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 29.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £400,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Spinneyfields is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0EE. 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 Spinneyfields. 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 Spinneyfields was lodged in February 2013 at band D and expired in February 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 4 Spinneyfields. 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 0EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
