Overview

About 2 Fordson Road

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

2 Fordson Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 5PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 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. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 sits 82.2% above the 2007 sale of £197,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
