Overview

About 8 Beardsley Drive

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

8 Beardsley Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 6GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
