Local market context
Tulford is a detached house in Fordham Heath, Colchester, Colchester (CO3 9TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 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 £436,000 sits 162.7% above the 2007 sale of £166,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
