Overview

About 11 Bridge Croft

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

11 Bridge Croft is a detached house in Howe Street, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1RE). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in July 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 sits 346.4% above the 1995 sale of £151,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 60.8% 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 11 Bridge Croft is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1RE. 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 11 Bridge Croft. 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 11 Bridge Croft was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 11 Bridge Croft. 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 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1RE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
11 Bridge Croft is in council tax band G. 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.
