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 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 56 m² this is the 17th 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. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
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.
