About White House

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

White House is a detached house in Great Tey, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1JF). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £589,000 is 30.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£299/sq ft) was about 15.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
