Overview

About 117 Smugglers Club Ground

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

117 Smugglers Club Ground is a three-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 601 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 278.7% above the 2009 sale of £61,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 34.4% below the postcode norm. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 117 Smugglers Club Ground is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6DQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 117 Smugglers Club Ground. 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 117 Smugglers Club Ground was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, 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. None is matched to 117 Smugglers Club Ground. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from CM3 6DQ. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
117 Smugglers Club Ground is in council tax band A. 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.
