About 3 Somerton Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Somerton Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Westcliff On Sea (SS0 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 52.1% above the 2015 sale of £277,500.
