How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Church Hill is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7EB.

About 4 Church Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Church Hill is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7EB). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 649 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2002–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 103.4% above the 2011 sale of £119,000. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in August 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 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 4 Church Hill is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7EB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 4 Church Hill. 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 Church Hill was lodged in February 2011 at band E and expired in February 2021, 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 4 Church Hill. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 7EB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Church Hill 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.
