How the estimate is made

The estimate for Hideaway is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6RE. 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.

Overview

About Hideaway

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

Hideaway is a five-bedroom detached house in Cock Clarks, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6RE). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 194 m² the property is well over the postcode median (141 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2005–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £825,000 is 11.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£354/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.

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 Hideaway is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6RE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Hideaway. 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 Hideaway was lodged in September 2014 at band C and expired in September 2024, 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 Hideaway. 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 20 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6RE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Hideaway 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.
