Overview

About 24 Alan Way

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

24 Alan Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO3 4LG). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 67), 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 November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £415,000 in May 2022. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £477,000 is 14.9% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£543/sq ft) was about 112.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
