How the estimate is made
The estimate for Tudor Cottage is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 2BG. 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.

About Tudor Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Tudor Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Fairstead, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 2BG). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 991 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 is 41.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£414/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Tudor Cottage is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 2BG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Tudor Cottage. 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 Tudor Cottage was lodged in August 2009 at band F and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Tudor Cottage. 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 2 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 2BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Tudor Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
