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 28 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 £154,000 sits 313.4% above the 1997 sale of £37,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 45.3% below the postcode norm.
