Overview

About 10 Lodge Road

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

10 Lodge Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Messing, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9TU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£423/sq ft) was about 61.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: May 2022 at £273,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
