About 7 Emerald Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Emerald Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Basildon (SS14 1FS). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 57 m² this is the 5th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–64 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 23.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 7 Emerald Court is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SS14 1FS. 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.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 7 Emerald Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 7 Emerald Court was lodged in August 2015 at band B and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Emerald Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SS14 1FS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Emerald Court is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
