Overview

About Church Gate Lodge

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

Church Gate Lodge is a semi-detached house in Great Waltham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1DE). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 sits 114.4% above the 2004 sale of £249,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 42% below the postcode norm.

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 Church Gate Lodge is modelled from its 157 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1DE. 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 Church Gate Lodge. 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 Church Gate Lodge was lodged in August 2012 at band F and expired in August 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 Church Gate Lodge. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1DE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Church Gate Lodge 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.
