Overview

About 18 Blackheath

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Blackheath is a three-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1288 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 85.1% above the 2009 sale of £227,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
