About 3 St James Road
3 St James Road is a detached house in Vange, Basildon, Basildon (SS16 4XS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 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 April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £346,000 sits 90.1% above the 2007 sale of £182,000.
