6 Champness Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Barking (IG11 9PD). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 454 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2000, a hold of 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 184.5% above the 2000 sale of £83,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 37.9% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 55 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
