Overview

About Maison Bleu

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

Maison Bleu is a four-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6BX). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. An application is currently awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £590,000 is 47.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 Maison Bleu is modelled from its 165 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6BX. 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 Maison Bleu. 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 Maison Bleu was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 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. 3 applications are matched to Maison Bleu. 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 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Maison Bleu 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.
