About 17 Oaklands
17 Oaklands is a three-bedroom detached house in Leavenheath, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 4UH). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1295 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since February 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 301.9% above the 2000 sale of £104,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 55.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
