Overview

About 5 White Elm Road

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

5 White Elm Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 sits 70.2% above the 2007 sale of £225,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
