Get started5 Playle Chase is a detached house in Great Totham, Maldon, Maldon (CM9 8UT). It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since April 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 230 m² the property is well over the postcode median (153 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £665,000 sits 383.6% above the 1996 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 77.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
