Overview

About Wells Crescent

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

Wells Crescent is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 1GN). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 is 17.1% below the 2017 sale of £245,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
