Overview

About 18 Bowfell Drive

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

18 Bowfell Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Langdon Hills, Basildon, Basildon (SS16 6SE). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 558 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Sold September 2021 for £305,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 52 m² it's 19.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 20 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 is 12.5% above the 2021 sale price.
