8 Silvester Way, Springfield, Chelmsford, CM2 6YZ

8 Silvester Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Springfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 6YZ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 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 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 62.9% above the 2007 sale of £275,000.
