Overview

About 1 Shop Lane

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

1 Shop Lane is a semi-detached house in East Mersea, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 8TR). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 251.4% above the 2000 sale of £105,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
