About 2 Broomhall Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Broomhall Gardens is a detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 7GE). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 is 35.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£527/sq ft) was about 66.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Broomhall Gardens is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM1 7GE. 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 Broomhall Gardens. 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 Broomhall Gardens was lodged in December 2008 at band B and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Broomhall Gardens. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM1 7GE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Broomhall Gardens 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.
