Overview

About 6 Ashurst Close

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

6 Ashurst Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7HU). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 260.6% above the 2007 sale of £63,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 66.7% below the postcode norm.

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 6 Ashurst Close is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 7HU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 6 Ashurst Close. 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 6 Ashurst Close was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 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. None is matched to 6 Ashurst Close. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 7HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 6 Ashurst Close is in council tax band C. 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.
