Overview

About 16 Coval Avenue

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

16 Coval Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 1TF). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 895 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 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 £389,000 sits 97.5% above the 2008 sale of £197,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Coval Avenue is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 1TF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Coval Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Coval Avenue was lodged in November 2011 at band E and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Coval Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 1TF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Coval Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
