About 225a
225a is a semi-detached house in Loughton (IG10 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 7th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–89 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 is 17% below the 2014 sale of £437,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in April 2014.
