About 21 Chelmsford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Chelmsford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0JY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 60.5% above the 2007 sale of £169,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 58.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 21 Chelmsford Road is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 21 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 21 Chelmsford Road was lodged in January 2018 at band E and is valid until January 2028. 2 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 21 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
- 21 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.
