Get startedClairmont is a three-bedroom detached house in Abberton, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7NS). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 898 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 41), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 83 m² it's 28.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 6 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 49.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
