About 30 Vista Avenue
30 Vista Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kirby-Le-Soken, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1145 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 106 m² it's 21.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 350.4% above the 1998 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 80.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
