About 5 Primrose Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Primrose Hill is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 2RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 75.7% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
