About 5a

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

5a is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
