Overview

About 8 Arwen Grove

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

8 Arwen Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 5ZJ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 is 37.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 35.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.

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 8 Arwen Grove is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 5ZJ. 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 8 Arwen Grove. 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 8 Arwen Grove was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Arwen Grove. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 5ZJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Arwen Grove 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.
