About 5 Hilltop Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Hilltop Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Hullbridge, Hockley, Hockley (SS5 6BL). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1018 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £402,000 sits 91.4% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. At 95 m² it's 19.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (118 m² median across 14 EPCs).
