Overview

About 5 Hopkirk Close

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

5 Hopkirk Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Danbury, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4PP). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 48.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
