About 8 Connaught Close
8 Connaught Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2GJ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 703 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 65 m² this is the 13th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–117 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 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.
