About 1c

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

1c is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–99 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 5 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since April 2001, a hold of 25 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 £151,000 sits 160.3% above the 2001 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 48.4% below the postcode norm. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
