Overview

About 1 Willow Court

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

1 Willow Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cold Norton, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6FH). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012-2021 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£491/sq ft) was about 62.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2022 for £470,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 1 Willow Court is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6FH. 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 1 Willow Court. 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 1 Willow Court was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Willow Court. 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 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6FH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Willow Court 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.
