Overview

About 1 Green Acres Road

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

1 Green Acres Road is a semi-detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JP). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in July 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 257.7% above the 2000 sale of £87,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 44.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
