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 £332,000 sits 60.8% above the 2009 sale of £206,500.

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 1 Hazelton Cottages is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 2BE. 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 1 Hazelton Cottages. 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 1 Hazelton Cottages was lodged in July 2010 at band C and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 1 Hazelton Cottages. 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 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 2BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Hazelton Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
