The estimate for 8 Essex Street is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 2BL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 124 m² it's 23.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 40 EPCs). Across 2012–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 is 23.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 33.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
