About 3 Rose Court
3 Rose Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 0AW). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 sits 68% above the 2007 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 25.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
