About 15a

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

15a is a detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9TP). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2014.
