Overview

About Homefield

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

Homefield is a four-bedroom detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on lpg. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £899,000 sits 81.6% above the 2007 sale of £495,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 26.5% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

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 Homefield is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4JQ. 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 Homefield. 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 Homefield was lodged in June 2023 at band D and is valid until June 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Homefield. 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 4JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Homefield 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.
