Overview

About 7 Arbour Lane

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

7 Arbour Lane is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM1 7RG). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
