Overview

About 4 Priory Road

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

4 Priory Road is a six-bedroom detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4EY). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Last sale on file: £890,000 in January 2019. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. Across 2002–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,075,000 is 20.8% above the 2019 sale price.

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 4 Priory Road is modelled from its 234 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4EY. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 4 Priory Road. 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 4 Priory Road was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, 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. 2 applications are matched to 4 Priory Road. 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 4EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Priory Road 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.
