Overview

About 21 Bouchers Mead

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

21 Bouchers Mead is a five-bedroom detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 6PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

At 78 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 45 EPCs). Across 2009–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 is 21.2% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£512/sq ft) was about 99.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21 Bouchers Mead is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 21 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 21 Bouchers Mead was lodged in June 2022 at band D and is valid until June 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 21 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
21 Bouchers Mead 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.
