About 18 Ratcliffe Court
18 Ratcliffe Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 56 m² this is the 18th 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 conservatory.
It hasn't traded since February 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.
