About 1 Bennett Green
1 Bennett Green is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5ZR). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 73.2% above the 2008 sale of £190,500.
