Overview

About 24 Heycroft Way

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

24 Heycroft Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 677 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 51.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 65.6% above the 2009 sale of £186,000.
