23 Alan Way, Colchester, CO3 4LG

23 Alan Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4LG). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 sits 70.5% above the 2011 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 30.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
