16a, Mersea Road, Colchester, CO2 7EX
About 16a
16a is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7EX). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 67 m² this is the 10th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–142 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 67 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 60% above the 2013 sale of £100,000. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
