About 8 Driftway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Driftway is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Basildon (SS16 4XB). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1072 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 106.7% above the 2006 sale of £150,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Driftway is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SS16 4XB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Driftway. 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 8 Driftway was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, 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 8 Driftway. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SS16 4XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Driftway is in council tax band C. 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.
