About 16 Bell Close
16 Bell Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 8EP). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 58 m² it's 28.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 8 EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 19.5% above the 2008 sale price.
