How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21a is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 7AR. 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 21a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 7AR). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C.

The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 45 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 21a is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 7AR. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 21a. 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 21a was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 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. 3 applications are matched to 21a. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 7AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21a is in council tax band C. 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.
