Overview

About 18 Squirrels Field

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

18 Squirrels Field is a four-bedroom detached house in Mile End, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5YA). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1424 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 58.6% above the 2009 sale of £280,000.
