Overview

About 21 Bells Chase

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

21 Bells Chase is a two-bedroom detached house in Great Baddow, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8DS). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 920 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £445,000 sits 56.1% above the 2011 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 85 m² it's 28.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.

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 21 Bells Chase is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 8DS. 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 21 Bells Chase. 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 21 Bells Chase was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 21 Bells Chase. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 8DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Bells Chase is in council tax band E. 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.
