Graylands is a detached house in Abberton, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 7PB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 103.1% above the 2011 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 38% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. At 95 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 20 EPCs).
