About 8 Azalea Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Azalea Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 6YL). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 53 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (34–53 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 37% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Azalea Court is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 6YL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Azalea Court. 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 Azalea Court was lodged in September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 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. None is matched to 8 Azalea Court. 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 6YL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Azalea Court is in council tax band B. 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.
