How the estimate is made
The estimate for Mayfield House is modelled from its 230 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 3QT.

About Mayfield House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Mayfield House is a four-bedroom detached house in Highwood, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 3QT). It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1999–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £999,000 sits 99.8% above the 2006 sale of £500,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

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 Mayfield House is modelled from its 230 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 3QT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Mayfield House. 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 Mayfield House was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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 Mayfield House. 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 1 school and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 3QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mayfield House is in council tax band F. 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.
