About 4 Ratcliffe Court
4 Ratcliffe Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2019 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. 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.
Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 is 12.4% below the 2006 sale of £209,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£353/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since December 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area.
