Overview

About 1 Rye Lane

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

1 Rye Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JL). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 sits 55.2% above the 2009 sale of £290,000.
