About 1 The Driveway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 The Driveway is a five-bedroom detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 129.1% above the 2007 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 51% below the postcode norm.
