Overview

About 14 Burrows Road

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

14 Burrows Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Earls Colne, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 2RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 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 58 m² it's 27.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 12 EPCs). Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 43.1% above the 2009 sale price.
