About 94b

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

94b is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 25 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (25–227 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 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. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 44.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 24.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
