Overview

About 16 Bouchers Mead

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

16 Bouchers Mead is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 6PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1387 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 sits 100.5% above the 2009 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 45.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Method

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 16 Bouchers Mead is modelled from its 129 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 6PJ. 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 16 Bouchers Mead. 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 16 Bouchers Mead was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, 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 16 Bouchers Mead. 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. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 6PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Bouchers Mead 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.
