Overview

About 1 Hall Cottages

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

1 Hall Cottages is a semi-detached house in East Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8TG). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 161.9% above the 2008 sale of £97,000.
