Get started26 The Driveway is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 0AD). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
