Overview

About 12 Avocet Close

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

12 Avocet Close is a detached house in Kelvedon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9PD). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1996, a hold of 30 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 £430,000 sits 378% above the 1996 sale of £89,950.
