Overview

About 5 Brook Lane

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

5 Brook Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Galleywood, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 827 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 is 14.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£484/sq ft) was about 101.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.

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 5 Brook Lane is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 8NJ. 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 Brook Lane. 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 Brook Lane was lodged in October 2010 at band D and expired in October 2020, 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 5 Brook Lane. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 8NJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Brook Lane 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.
