Overview

About 29 Rochford Road

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

29 Rochford Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM2 0EG). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 105% above the 2007 sale of £160,000.
