Overview

About Heathfield House

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

Heathfield House is a detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0QH). It has a recorded floor area of 286 m² (around 3078 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Heathfield House is modelled from its 286 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 0QH. 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 Heathfield House. 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 Heathfield House was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Heathfield House. 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 5 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 0QH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Heathfield House is in council tax band G. 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.
