About The Brambles
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Brambles is a semi-detached house in Benfleet (SS7 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 5-band jump.
