How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Brook Hall Road is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7DG. 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.

About 18 Brook Hall Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Brook Hall Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fingringhoe, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7DG). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1995–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 60% above the 2013 sale of £167,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 13 years ago, in April 2013. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 18 Brook Hall Road is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7DG. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 18 Brook Hall 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 18 Brook Hall Road was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, 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 18 Brook Hall 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 7DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Brook Hall Road 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.
