Overview

About Sandilands

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

Sandilands is a three-bedroom detached house in Layer-De-La-Haye, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0JU). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 21.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£440/sq ft) was about 85% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
