About 12c

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

12c is a detached house in Colchester (CO2 7EX). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 5-band jump.
