Get started23 Barrack Street is a property in Colchester (CO1 2LL). It has a recorded floor area of 18 m² (around 194 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. At 18 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (18–113 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 11.5% below the 2021 sale of £200,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,029/sq ft) was about 459.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 18 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Last sale on file: £200,000 in December 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
