Overview

About 12 Norfolk Crescent

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

12 Norfolk Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AX). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
