Overview

About 3 Becker Road

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

3 Becker Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 9XR). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £278,000 sits 63.5% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 17.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
