How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Chelmer Avenue is modelled from its 200 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 3PB. 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 1 Chelmer Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Chelmer Avenue is a semi-detached house in Little Waltham, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 3PB). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on oil.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Chelmer Avenue is modelled from its 200 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 3PB. 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. No sale is recorded for 1 Chelmer Avenue, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Chelmer Avenue was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Chelmer Avenue. 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 3PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Chelmer Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
