Get startedBrookdale is a detached house in Benfleet (SS7 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
