Overview

About 4 Beche Road

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

4 Beche Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 7LS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2021) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
