Overview

About 7 Cranmer House

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

7 Cranmer House is a mid-terrace house in Chelmsford (CM2 8SX). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 26 m² this is the 7th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–34 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (68 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year.

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 7 Cranmer House is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 8SX. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 7 Cranmer House. 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 7 Cranmer House was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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. None is matched to 7 Cranmer House. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 8SX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Cranmer House 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.
