4 Chaucer Way, Colchester, CO3 4HA
About 4 Chaucer Way
4 Chaucer Way is a semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4HA). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 58.5% above the 2008 sale of £234,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
