About 2 Souther Cross
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Souther Cross is a semi-detached house in Good Easter, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM1 4RX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 76% above the 2013 sale of £250,000. At 87 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 2 Souther Cross is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 4RX. 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 2 Souther Cross. 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 2 Souther Cross was lodged in June 2026 at band E and is valid until June 2036. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Souther Cross. 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 4RX. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Souther Cross is in council tax band D. 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.
