About The Icon

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

The Icon is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Basildon (SS14 1FH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 53 m² this is the 18th smallest of 55 units on EPC record in The Icon, where floor areas span 43–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 55 units on file.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 is 12.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£319/sq ft) was about 19.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
