About 9 Bressingham Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Bressingham Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 5RF). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 300% above the 1996 sale of £126,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 72.1% below the postcode norm.

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 9 Bressingham Gardens is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 5RF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 9 Bressingham Gardens. 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 9 Bressingham Gardens was lodged in March 2012 at band D and expired in March 2022, 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 9 Bressingham Gardens. 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.

- Council tax band
- 9 Bressingham Gardens is in council tax band D. 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.
