Overview

About 26 Chestnut Road

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

26 Chestnut Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Vange, Basildon, Basildon (SS16 4TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
