Overview

About 2a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2a is a two-bedroom detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 4EH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 93% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. At 53 m² it's 24.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 21 EPCs).
