About 13 Aleckay Court
13 Aleckay Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO2 9LD). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to A, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 100). The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 202.4% above the 2007 sale of £41,000.
