About 71 Vange Hill Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
71 Vange Hill Drive is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Basildon (SS16 4DA). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–48 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 52.3% above the 2007 sale of £88,000. At 31 m² it's 29.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (44 m² median across 11 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 71 Vange Hill Drive is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SS16 4DA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 71 Vange Hill Drive. 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 71 Vange Hill Drive was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 71 Vange Hill Drive. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SS16 4DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 71 Vange Hill Drive 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.
