Overview

About 226 Bergholt Road

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

226 Bergholt Road is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 13.2% below the 2022 sale of £268,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 69.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2022 for £268,500. 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 2002.
