About Milestones
Milestones is a four-bedroom detached house in Chappel, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 2AE). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1156 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 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 £507,000 sits 319% above the 1995 sale of £121,000.
