Overview

About 8 Orchard Road

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

8 Orchard Road is a semi-detached house in Southminster (CM0 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

It hasn't traded since July 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 £333,000 sits 81% above the 2007 sale of £184,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
