Overview

About 17 Highfields Mead

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

17 Highfields Mead is a detached house in East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 8XA). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1105 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 165.6% above the 2001 sale of £179,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm. At 103 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 23 EPCs).

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 17 Highfields Mead is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 8XA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Highfields Mead. 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 17 Highfields Mead was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, 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. None is matched to 17 Highfields Mead. 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 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 8XA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Highfields Mead 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.
