About 17 Lowefields

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

17 Lowefields is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Earls Colne, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
