Overview

About Nichols Court

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

Nichols Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM2 0BS). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Nichols Court, where floor areas span 39–47 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 35.9% above the 2007 sale price.
