6 Orchard Road, Southminster, CM0 7DQ

6 Orchard Road is a semi-detached house in Southminster (CM0 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) returns an A (score 93), the top energy band on the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 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 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 sits 358.8% above the 2000 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 70.4% 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.
