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 £385,000 sits 54% above the 2008 sale of £249,995. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 11 Fortune Close is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1RR. 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 11 Fortune Close. 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 Fortune Close was lodged in March 2026 at band D and is valid until March 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 11 Fortune Close. 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 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
11 Fortune Close is in council tax band D. 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.
