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 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 £330,000 sits 127.6% above the 2007 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 38.5% 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
