Overview

About 2 Chapel Row

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

2 Chapel Row is a mid-terrace house in Howe Street, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
