12 Acorn Close, Colchester, CO4 0HY

12 Acorn Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0HY). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 66.7% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
