How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Columbia Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DN32 8EA. 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.

About 15 Columbia Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Columbia Road is an end-of-terrace house in Grimsby (DN32 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Across 2003–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 113.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 16.5% below the 2005 sale of £194,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 186.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 15 Columbia Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DN32 8EA. 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 15 Columbia Road. 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 15 Columbia Road was lodged in April 2026 at band E and is valid until April 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 Columbia Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN32 8EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Columbia Road is in council tax band A. 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.
