Overview

About 17 Axial Drive

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

17 Axial Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 60 m² this is the 17th smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–210 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 60 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
