Overview

About 42 Brockenhurst Way

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

42 Brockenhurst Way is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bicknacre, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 4XW). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2000–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 59.5% above the 2014 sale of £132,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£317/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).

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 42 Brockenhurst Way is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 4XW. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 42 Brockenhurst Way. 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 42 Brockenhurst Way was lodged in November 2013 at band E and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 42 Brockenhurst Way. 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 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 4XW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
42 Brockenhurst Way is in council tax band B. 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.
