About Graphic House
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.
