About 17 The Walk

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

17 The Walk is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Eight Ash Green, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 21.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005.
