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. 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.

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 7 Chelmer Lea is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 7QG. 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 7 Chelmer Lea. 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 7 Chelmer Lea was lodged in February 2011 at band D and expired in February 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 7 Chelmer Lea. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 7QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Chelmer Lea is in council tax band D. 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.
