3 Braiswick, Colchester, CO4 5AU
About 3 Braiswick
3 Braiswick is a four-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1430 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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. At 133 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (162 m² median across 17 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 is 32.8% above the 2007 sale price.
