Get started2 Chapel Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chigwell (IG7 6JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £562,000 sits 120.4% above the 2012 sale of £255,000. 9 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 94 m² it sits well below the postcode median (182 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in February 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.
