Overview

About 26 Kings Tower

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

26 Kings Tower is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 1GS). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. At 60 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 70 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–202 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 70 units on file.

Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 27.2% above the 2008 sale price.
