Overview

About 21 Brinkley Crescent

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

21 Brinkley Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 3ED). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 662 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £277,000 sits 326.5% above the 1995 sale of £64,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 65.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
