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 41 m² (around 441 sq ft). At 41 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Graphic House, where floor areas span 27–42 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (74 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 (£736/sq ft) was about 126.5% 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.
