Overview

About 1 Hazelton Cottages

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

1 Hazelton Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Fairstead, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 741 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since November 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. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 sits 65.1% above the 2009 sale of £206,500.
