Overview

About 16 Hardy Close

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

16 Hardy Close is a property in Chelmsford (CM1 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft). At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (45–154 m²). The latest certificate (July 2016) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 12.9% below the 2016 sale of £197,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 63 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in August 2016.
