Overview

About 12 Catherine Close

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

12 Catherine Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 8UX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 is 43.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 26.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in July 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 12 Catherine Close is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 8UX. 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 12 Catherine Close. 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 12 Catherine Close was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 12 Catherine Close. 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 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 8UX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Catherine Close 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.
