Overview

About 31 Shimbrooks

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

31 Shimbrooks is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Great Leighs, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 645 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 67.6% above the 2009 sale of £170,000.
