Overview

About 21 Langdale Drive

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

21 Langdale Drive is a semi-detached house in Highwoods, Colchester, Colchester (CO4 9TU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 856 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 92.6% above the 2009 sale of £163,000.
