Overview

About 4 Cranston Avenue

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

4 Cranston Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Westcliff On Sea (SS0 0JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
