Overview

About 20 Beche Road

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

20 Beche Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7LS). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2015–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 20.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
