Overview

About 6 Thrift Wood

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

6 Thrift Wood is a three-bedroom detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4HT). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2006–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 55.6% above the 2014 sale of £275,000. On the market in October 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. At 94 m² it's 19.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 19 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.

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 6 Thrift Wood is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4HT. 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 6 Thrift Wood. 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 6 Thrift Wood was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 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. 1 application is matched to 6 Thrift Wood. 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 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 4HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Thrift Wood is in council tax band E. 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.
