Overview

About 2 Burns Avenue

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

2 Burns Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO3 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 81.7% above the 2009 sale of £175,000.
