Overview

About 31 Waterville Drive

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

31 Waterville Drive is a mid-terrace house in Vange, Basildon, Basildon (SS16 4TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 43 m² this is the 9th smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 42 units on file.

It hasn't traded since December 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 289.3% above the 1997 sale of £37,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 46% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Waterville Drive is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SS16 4TZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 31 Waterville 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 31 Waterville Drive was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 31 Waterville 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SS16 4TZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Waterville 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.
