Overview

About 40 Pleshey Road

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

40 Pleshey Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ford End, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1LF). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1043 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 61.2% above the 2013 sale of £245,000.

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 40 Pleshey Road is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1LF. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 40 Pleshey 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 40 Pleshey Road was lodged in July 2010 at band E and expired in July 2020, 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 40 Pleshey 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1LF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40 Pleshey Road is in council tax band C. 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.
