About 198 Bergholt Road
198 Bergholt Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2015. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year.
