Overview

About 11 Fortune Close

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

11 Fortune Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1RR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 56.8% above the 2008 sale of £249,995. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
