About 1 Hunts Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Hunts Cottages is a semi-detached house in Good Easter, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 4PT). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1261 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 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. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 62% above the 2009 sale of £292,000.

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 1 Hunts Cottages is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 4PT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Hunts Cottages. 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 1 Hunts Cottages was lodged in March 2009 at band E and expired in March 2019, 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. None is matched to 1 Hunts Cottages. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CM1 4PT. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Hunts Cottages is in council tax band E. 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.
