Overview

About 1 Cavendish Gardens

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

1 Cavendish Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 6BB). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 45 m² this is the 9th smallest of 49 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 49 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1998–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 sits 86.7% above the 2002 sale of £104,995.

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 1 Cavendish Gardens is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 6BB. 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 1 Cavendish Gardens. 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 1 Cavendish Gardens was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, 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. None is matched to 1 Cavendish Gardens. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 6BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Cavendish Gardens 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.
