Local market context
Yew Lodge is a detached house in Highwood, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 is 45.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£340/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in January 2016. At 93 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 7 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
