Overview

About 1 Chelmsford Road

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

1 Chelmsford Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0JY). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 67.1% above the 2014 sale of £243,000. Last sold in March 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 1 Chelmsford Road is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO2 0JY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Chelmsford Road. 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 1 Chelmsford Road was lodged in June 2026 at band D and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Chelmsford Road. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO2 0JY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chelmsford Road 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.
