About 12 East Bay
12 East Bay is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO1 2UG). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 179.4% above the 1998 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm.
