About 1 Arrow Road
1 Arrow Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 3TA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 46.9% above the 2007 sale price.
