Overview

About Wells Crescent

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

Wells Crescent is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 1GN). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the 24th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in Wells Crescent, where floor areas span 44–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 51 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 20.1% below the 2007 sale of £194,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
