Overview

About 9 Barkstead Road

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

9 Barkstead Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £242,000 in October 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2000–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 18.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£341/sq ft) was about 101.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
