Get started16 Graham Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hockley (SS5 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 is 36% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
