About 7 Alderton Road
7 Alderton Road is a mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 685.7% above the 1997 sale of £28,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
