About Nethergong

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

Nethergong is a three-bedroom detached house in Boxted, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5TT). It has a recorded floor area of 262 m² (around 2820 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 262 m² the property is well over the postcode median (148 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £883,000 sits 118% above the 2013 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 43.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in March 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
