8 Avenue Road, Chelmsford, CM2 9TY

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 19 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 £496,000 sits 98.4% 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.
