Overview

About 129a

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

129a is a four-bedroom detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since February 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £831,000 sits 219.6% above the 1999 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 48% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.

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 129a is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4DL. 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 129a. 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 129a was lodged in June 2025 at band D and is valid until June 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 129a. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 4DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
129a is in council tax band G. 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.
