16b, Broomfield Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1SN
About 16b
16b is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 1SN). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 20.9% below the 2010 sale of £350,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£956/sq ft) was about 163.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in May 2010. At 34 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (45 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
