Overview

About 2 Brick House Cottages

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

2 Brick House Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Boreham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 3JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 77 m² it's 18.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 19.1% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£388/sq ft) was about 56% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 2 Brick House Cottages is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 3JQ. 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 2 Brick House 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 2 Brick House Cottages was lodged in July 2014 at band F and expired in July 2024, 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. None is matched to 2 Brick House 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 3JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Brick House 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.
