Overview

About 24 Alderton Road

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

24 Alderton Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
