9 Almond Way, Colchester, CO4 3LJ
About 9 Almond Way
9 Almond Way is an end-of-terrace house in Colchester (CO4 3LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 97). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 sits 91.9% above the 2009 sale of £123,000.
