Overview

About Five Oaks

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

Five Oaks is a detached house in Layer Breton, Colchester, Colchester (CO2 0PN). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
