How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 Townsend is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 6GB. 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.

About 9 Townsend
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Townsend is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Springfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 6GB). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (30–152 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 11.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£395/sq ft) was about 94.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold December 2021 for £127,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 9 Townsend is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 6GB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 9 Townsend. 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 9 Townsend was lodged in September 2013 at band C and expired in September 2023, 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 9 Townsend. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 6GB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Townsend 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.
