Overview

About 3 Bellingham Drive

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

3 Bellingham Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Copford, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 278 m² (around 2991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 278 m² the property is well over the postcode median (180 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £939,000 is 18.9% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
