About Rose House
Rose House is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO1 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 41 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Rose House, where floor areas span 38–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
