About 5 The Knowle
5 The Knowle is a four-bedroom detached house in Basildon (SS16 4BP). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £500,000 sits 66.7% above the 2008 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm.
