Overview

About 5 Langleys Cottages

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

5 Langleys Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Tey, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £487,000 is 34.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 15.8% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
