Overview

About 8 Leonard Place

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

8 Leonard Place is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2020) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £173,000 is 28.1% above the 2008 sale price.
