Overview

About 26 Fingringhoe Road

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

26 Fingringhoe Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Langenhoe, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7LB). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 sits 130.3% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
