Overview

About 9 Ratcliffe Court

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

9 Ratcliffe Court is a mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. At 54 m² this is the 9th 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.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 17% above the 2018 sale price.
