About 15 Mersea Road
15 Mersea Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7EX). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
It hasn't traded since November 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. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 68.6% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
