How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Bakersfield is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6GT. 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.

About 3 Bakersfield
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Bakersfield is a five-bedroom detached house in Mayland, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6GT). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2000–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 sits 62.5% above the 2014 sale of £357,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 48.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Bakersfield is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6GT. 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 3 Bakersfield. 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 3 Bakersfield was lodged in June 2013 at band C and expired in June 2023, 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. None is matched to 3 Bakersfield. 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 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6GT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Bakersfield is in council tax band F. 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.
