About 77 Broadlands Way
77 Broadlands Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colchester (CO4 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump.
