About 31 Waterville Drive
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.
