Overview

About 16 Heath Road

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

16 Heath Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 4DH). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2004, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 70.9% above the 2004 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 28.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
