Overview

About 12 Constable Close

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

12 Constable Close is a detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8RX). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 375.3% above the 1998 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
