Overview

About 5 Blenheim Drive

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

5 Blenheim Drive is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in September 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
