Overview

About 12 Church Hill

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

12 Church Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rowhedge, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7EB). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1064 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 73.2% above the 2008 sale of £157,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it's 22.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
