Overview

About 6 Rochford Road

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

6 Rochford Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 307 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–117 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 26.4% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£407/sq ft) was about 87.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 6 Rochford Road is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 0EF. 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 6 Rochford 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 6 Rochford Road was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 Rochford 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 0EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Rochford Road is in council tax band B. 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.
