Overview

About Vicarage Court

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

Vicarage Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO3 4RW). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 74 m² this is the 7th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in Vicarage Court, where floor areas span 56–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (76 versus a worst of 60). The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 32.4% above the 2007 sale price.
