292 Mersea Road, Colchester, CO2 8QY

292 Mersea Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO2 8QY). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 108.3% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
