Overview

About 163 New London Road

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

163 New London Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM2 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 87 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 84–240 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 18% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £519,000 is 19.5% below the 2008 sale of £645,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£689/sq ft) was about 237.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 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 163 New London Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 0AE. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 163 New London Road. 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 163 New London Road was lodged in August 2025 at band D and is valid until August 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 163 New London Road. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 0AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
163 New London Road is in council tax band D. 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.
