Overview

About 11 Brickhouse Close

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

11 Brickhouse Close is a four-bedroom detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8LA). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1562 sq ft) and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.

Today's modelled estimate of £492,000 sits 75.7% above the 2011 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
