Overview

About 14 Ratcliffe Court

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

14 Ratcliffe Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 55 m² this is the 13th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 50 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since May 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.
