Overview

About Newbridge Cottage

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

Newbridge Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0JA). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since December 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area.

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 Newbridge Cottage is modelled from its 190 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0JA. 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 Newbridge Cottage. 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 Newbridge Cottage was lodged in November 2017 at band C and is valid until November 2027. 2 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 Newbridge Cottage. 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 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 0JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Newbridge Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
