About 8 Ramparts Close

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

8 Ramparts Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Great Horkesley, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 383 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the 4th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–99 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to A across 17 units on file. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 sits 63.2% above the 2008 sale of £95,000. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
