Overview

About 8 Bellhouse Villas

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

8 Bellhouse Villas is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in High Easter, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 4RA). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 sits 117.2% above the 2013 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 62.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Bellhouse Villas is modelled from its 173 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 4RA. 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 8 Bellhouse Villas. 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 8 Bellhouse Villas was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 8 Bellhouse Villas. 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 4RA. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Bellhouse Villas 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.
