Overview

About Limes Lodge

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

Limes Lodge is a four-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6BT). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) returns a high B (score 90), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 93). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £469,000 sits 64.6% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Limes Lodge is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6BT. 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 Limes Lodge. 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 Limes Lodge was lodged in May 2014 at band B and expired in May 2024, 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. 2 applications are matched to Limes Lodge. 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 2 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Limes Lodge is in council tax band E. 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.
