Local market context
14 Charles Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stanway, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 0YS). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 8th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since August 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. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 is 33.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
