About 12 Alexandra Road
12 Alexandra Road is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 27 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). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 103.3% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 44.9% below the postcode norm.
