Overview

About 15 Berkley Close

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

15 Berkley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since December 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. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 74.3% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 73 m² it's 25.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 35 EPCs).
