About 3 White Elm Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 White Elm Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Sold September 2022 for £535,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 3 White Elm Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4LU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 White Elm 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 3 White Elm Road was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
