About 178 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
178 High Street is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Kelvedon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9JD). It has a recorded floor area of 262 m² (around 2824 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since September 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings, attached land beyond the plot and a loft.
Held since May 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 262 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,034,000 is 45% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 26.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 178 High Street is modelled from its 262 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 9JD. 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 178 High Street. 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 178 High Street was lodged in January 2011 at band F and expired in January 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. 5 applications are matched to 178 High Street. 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 2 schools and 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 9JD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 178 High Street 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.
