Overview

About 142 Ipswich Road

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

142 Ipswich Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AF). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 85.1% above the 2013 sale of £80,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 35.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
