Overview

About 5 Firs Road

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

5 Firs Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
