Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a four-bedroom detached house in South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 5LP). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 120 m² it's 25% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 22 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2015–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 is 22.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£368/sq ft) was about 34.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.

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 5a is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 5LP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5a. 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 5a was lodged in May 2013 at band C and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5a. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 5LP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5a is in council tax band F. 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.
