About 8 Greyfriars Court
8 Greyfriars Court is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO1 1TL). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1409 sq ft) and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2009) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 is 13.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm.
