Overview

About Harborough Hall

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

Harborough Hall is a semi-detached house in Messing, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9UA). It has a recorded floor area of 291 m² (around 3132 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 291 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £717,000 sits 109.6% above the 2013 sale of £342,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 55.5% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 Harborough Hall is modelled from its 291 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 9UA. 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 Harborough Hall. 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 Harborough Hall was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, 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. 8 applications are matched to Harborough Hall. 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 6 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO5 9UA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Harborough Hall is in council tax band E. 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.
