Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 1BE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

2a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 3 sales in CM1 1BE: £520,000 (2024–2015).

2a is a mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
