About 5 Brooke House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Brooke House is a mid-terrace house in Basildon (SS14 1HX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 66 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across 5 Brooke House (55–66 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (50 versus a best of 66). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 66 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 sits 102.7% above the 2022 sale of £75,000. Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £75,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 5 Brooke House is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SS14 1HX. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 5 Brooke House. 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 5 Brooke House was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 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 5 Brooke House. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SS14 1HX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Brooke House is in council tax band A. 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.
