Overview

About 12 Hamilton Road

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

12 Hamilton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good.
