About The Croft

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

The Croft is a detached house in Steeple, Southminster, Southminster (CM0 7LE). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
