Overview

About 4 Constable Close

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

4 Constable Close is a semi-detached house in West Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8RX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £314,000 sits 432.2% above the 1998 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 68.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
