Overview

About 188 New London Road

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

188 New London Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2788 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

7 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. At 259 m² the property is well over the postcode median (38 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£421/sq ft) was about 65.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £1,175,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 188 New London Road is modelled from its 259 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 0AR. 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 188 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 188 New London Road was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, 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. 7 applications are matched to 188 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 0AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
188 New London Road is in council tax band G. 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.
