About 7 Axial Drive
7 Axial Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 60 units on file.
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.
