About 16 Church Street
16 Church Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Coggeshall, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1TU). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 is 39.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 52.2% below the postcode norm.
