Overview

About 8 Colenso Avenue

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

8 Colenso Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hull (HU9 2JL). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £108,000 sits 96.4% above the 2007 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 36.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 71 m² it's 29.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 13 EPCs).
