Overview

About 21 Lilian Impey Drive

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

21 Lilian Impey Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9GP). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 335.6% above the 1999 sale of £95,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 40.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
