Overview

About 6 Bull Lane

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

6 Bull Lane is a detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 sits 66.1% above the 2013 sale of £245,000.
