About Birchmores

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

Birchmores is a one-bedroom detached house in Basildon (SS15 6RG). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Birchmores, where floor areas span 49–60 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 6 units on file. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).
