Overview

About 79a

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

79a is a two-bedroom detached house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0FZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 is 32% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£267/sq ft) was about 71% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.
