Overview

About Graylands

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

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.
