How the estimate is made
The estimate for West Point is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7DS. 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 West Point
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
West Point is a three-bedroom detached house in Fingringhoe, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7DS). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 101 m² it's 24.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 14 EPCs). Across 2000–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 is 22.9% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 48.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

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 West Point is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7DS. 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 West Point. 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 West Point was lodged in August 2016 at band C and expired in August 2026, 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. 4 applications are matched to West Point. 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 4 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 7DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- West Point 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.
