7 Ashton Place, Chelmsford, CM2 6ST

7 Ashton Place is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 6ST). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 61.2% above the 2009 sale of £278,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
