Overview

About Graphic House

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

Graphic House is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2JT). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. At 49 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Graphic House (30–49 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 is 56.9% below the 2015 sale of £325,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£616/sq ft) was about 113.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

How the estimate is made
The estimate for Graphic House is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 2JT.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Graphic House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
