Overview

About 5 Curlew Close

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

5 Curlew Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Kelvedon, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 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. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 sits 68.2% above the 2007 sale of £305,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm.
