Overview

About 17 Well Lane

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

17 Well Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Galleywood, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8QY). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £716,000 is 36.4% above the 2016 sale price.
