About 17 Wheelwright Place
17 Wheelwright Place is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Mile End, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 5ZF). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. At 52 m² this is the 13th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 18 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 13.9% below the 2007 sale of £165,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
