About 1 New Houses
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 New Houses is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hartford End, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1JT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 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. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 62.4% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 New Houses is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1JT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 New Houses. 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 1 New Houses was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, 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. 2 applications are matched to 1 New Houses. 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 1 school and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
