10 Beech Court, Beech Road, Basildon, SS14 1SU

10 Beech Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Basildon (SS14 1SU). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 379 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 35 m² this is the 8th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (46 versus a best of 72). The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 161.1% above the 2007 sale of £47,500.
