About 160 Goring Road

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

160 Goring Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 is 24.2% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £215,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
