Overview

About 4 Affleck Road

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

4 Affleck Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 3XR). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 57.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
