About 9 Cards Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Cards Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sandon, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 7RH). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 67 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 80.7% above the 2008 sale of £166,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 9 Cards Road is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 7RH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 9 Cards Road. 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 9 Cards Road was lodged in November 2013 at band E and expired in November 2023, 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. None is matched to 9 Cards Road. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 7RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Cards Road is in council tax band C. 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.
