About 7 Prunus Court
7 Prunus Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Sold June 2021 for £267,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 is 15.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£365/sq ft) was about 111.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
