Overview

About 7 Chelmer Lea

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

7 Chelmer Lea is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 7QG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 973 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2001–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 is 10.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£448/sq ft) was about 79.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. At 90 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (116 m² median across 12 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
