About 5 Park View Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Park View Crescent is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Great Baddow, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8HU). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 53 m² this is the 8th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 5 Park View Crescent is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 8HU. 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 5 Park View Crescent. 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 5 Park View Crescent was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, 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 5 Park View Crescent. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 8HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Park View Crescent is in council tax band A. 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.
