About 17 Green Lane
17 Green Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 59.6% above the 2008 sale of £231,250. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
