About 29a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 40 m² this is the 5th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–96 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 25 units on file.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 49.7% above the 2008 sale price.
