Overview

About 18 Birch Road

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

18 Birch Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Tillingham, Southminster, Southminster (CM0 7SX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
