Overview

About 4 Crowsfield Cottages

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

4 Crowsfield Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in West Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM2 8UH). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 70.8% above the 2011 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 35.2% below the postcode norm. At 115 m² it's 29.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 11 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 2009.

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 4 Crowsfield Cottages is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 8UH. 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 4 Crowsfield Cottages. 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 4 Crowsfield Cottages was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, 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 4 Crowsfield Cottages. 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 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM2 8UH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Crowsfield Cottages 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.
