Overview

About 6a

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

6a is a mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1JG). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
