Overview

About 8 Heycroft Way

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

8 Heycroft Way is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tiptree, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 59.3% above the 2015 sale of £177,000. On the market in May 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
