Overview

About 1 Albra Mead

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

1 Albra Mead is a four-bedroom detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 6YG). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

It hasn't traded since August 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. At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £695,000 sits 66.3% above the 2007 sale of £418,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.

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 Albra Mead is modelled from its 173 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 6YG. 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 1 Albra Mead. 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 Albra Mead was lodged in November 2017 at band C and is valid until November 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Albra Mead. 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 6YG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Albra Mead is in council tax band F. 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.
