54 Southern Drive, Loughton, IG10 3BX

54 Southern Drive is a semi-detached house in Loughton (IG10 3BX). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 825 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 49), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £504,000 sits 102.4% above the 2009 sale of £248,995. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
