A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Hanover Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Feering, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9QN). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

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 Hanover Cottage is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 9QN. 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 Hanover Cottage. 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 Hanover Cottage was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, 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 Hanover Cottage. 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 3 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 9QN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Hanover Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
