Overview

About 9 Old Forge Road

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

9 Old Forge Road is a detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JS). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 74.6% above the 2013 sale of £244,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 102.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2023. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 120 m² it's 23.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (156 m² median across 5 EPCs).
