Overview

About 3 Chichester Court

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

3 Chichester Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 3TF). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 594 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 38.9% above the 2003 sale price.
