Overview

About 8 Avenue Road

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

8 Avenue Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM2 9TY). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 97.2% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.

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 8 Avenue Road is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 9TY. 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 8 Avenue Road. 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 8 Avenue Road was lodged in April 2014 at band C and expired in April 2024, 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 8 Avenue Road. 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 9TY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Avenue Road 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.
