About 23b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23b is an end-of-terrace house in Hockley (SS5 4PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
