About 23 Dukes Wood Close

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

23 Dukes Wood Close is a detached house in Boreham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 3FT). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft) and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–138 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (82 versus a best of 86).

Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 is 14.3% below the 2016 sale of £230,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.

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 23 Dukes Wood Close is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 3FT. 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 23 Dukes Wood 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 23 Dukes Wood Close was lodged in November 2016 at band B and is valid until November 2026. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Dukes Wood 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 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 3FT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Dukes Wood Close is in council tax band B. 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.
