Overview

About 26 Selwyn Road

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

26 Selwyn Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Southend On Sea (SS2 4DR). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump.

Held since October 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. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 sits 75% above the 2007 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 39.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
