Overview

About 17 Alexandra Terrace

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

17 Alexandra Terrace is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 3DE). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 29.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 43.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
