About 7 Bennett Green
7 Bennett Green is a mid-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 5ZR). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 sits 83.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000.
