Overview

About 8 Constantine Road

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

8 Constantine Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 70.2% above the 2008 sale of £171,000.
