About 33 Saffron Way

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

33 Saffron Way is a semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
