71 Vange Hill Drive, Basildon, SS16 4DA

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 19 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 £139,000 sits 58% 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).
