Overview

About 9 Brinkley Crescent

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

9 Brinkley Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 3ED). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 85 m² it's 23.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 29 EPCs). Across 1995–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 19.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £310,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2000.
