About 16 Main Road
16 Main Road is a three-bedroom detached house in St. Lawrence, Southminster, Southminster (CM0 7LY). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (151 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 is 34.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£355/sq ft) was about 123.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
