1a is a detached house in Mile End, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 376.4% above the 1999 sale of £82,500.
1a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
