## Method and limitations

- Figures are **advertised asking prices and advertised rents**, not achieved sale prices.
- Per-type figures are **averages**. The area headline figures are the **median of those
  per-type averages** across dwelling categories only.
- Gross yield excludes voids, management, maintenance, ground rent and finance costs.
- Per-room lettings and non-residential premises are excluded from every headline figure.
- Chelmsford is a UK local authority district, not a town or postcode area.
- Observation window: sale listings first advertised in the 180 days to 11 October 2026, and rental listings in the 90 days to 11 October 2026. A listing is counted from when it was first advertised, so these are not necessarily still on the market.
- **Gross yield combines two windows** — a 90-day rent sample over a 180-day sale sample.
