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 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 80 m² this is the 42nd smallest of 51 units on EPC record in Wells Crescent, where floor areas span 44–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 51 units on file.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 50 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
