About 10 Ratcliffe Court

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

10 Ratcliffe Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 22.7% below the 2008 sale of £209,500, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£453/sq ft) was about 78.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 43 m² it's 24.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 49 EPCs).
