Investors should note this property currently has an EPC rating of C (Certificate valid until 28th June 2031) and under the proposed Labour Government reforms of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (mees), a property with an EPC rating of C will be treated as compliant until their EPC expires and would not need to be assessed immediately after the EPC assessment system changes in 2026. The purchaser could renew the current EPC rating of C using the same assessor for consistency to secure a certificate valid for a new 10 years, and benefit from the proposed transition period before the 2026 reforms. This property also benefits from cavity walls, double glazing, and electric heating & hot water system (no gas system) which are more desirable under the mees reform changes.
In addition, there are two hospitals within walking distance, and new Colchester Rapid Transit route connecting to university and park & ride. It is also conveniently located to Turner Rise Retail Park, benefitting from a range of supermarkets, shops and amenities. Colchester's historic and vibrant city centre is a short walk away, home to a selection of bars, restaurants, boutiques and leisure facilities also.
Leasehold information: We have been advised that this property is offered on a leasehold basis, 125 years from 14 June 2007. This would therefore mean approximately 107 years remain on the lease term. A service charge and ground rent is payable (combined) at £175 pcm, including building insurance. We advise all interested parties to confirm all leasehold information with their appointed solicitor at an early stage of their conveyance, to prevent any discrepancy.
