Overview

About 29 Chaucer Way

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

29 Chaucer Way is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4HA). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 is 29.7% above the 2015 sale price.
