About 17 Coval Avenue
17 Coval Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 1TF). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1072 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
