About Willow Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Willow Lodge is a detached house in Sandon, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 7TG). It has a recorded floor area of 321 m² (around 3455 sq ft). The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year.

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 Willow Lodge is modelled from its 321 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 7TG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Willow Lodge. 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 Willow Lodge was lodged in March 2016 at band C and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records

- Area figures
