About 13 East View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 East View is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Writtle, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3NL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 878 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 405% above the 1996 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 66.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 East View is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 3NL. 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 13 East View. 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 13 East View was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 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. 1 application is matched to 13 East View. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 3NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 East View 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.
