Overview

About 16 Ferris Avenue

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

16 Ferris Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Cold Norton, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 62.6% above the 2009 sale of £310,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, 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 16 Ferris Avenue is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6HZ. 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 16 Ferris Avenue. 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 16 Ferris Avenue was lodged in May 2009 at band E and expired in May 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 16 Ferris Avenue. 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 6HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Ferris Avenue 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.
