About 5 Belle Vue Road
5 Belle Vue Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 1XA). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
