9 Braithwaite Drive is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5XG). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) 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 June 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 86.5% above the 2009 sale of £185,000.
