Overview

About 25 Valentines Drive

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

25 Valentines Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AH). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 76.5% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 28% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
