About 4 Leigh Road
4 Leigh Road is a semi-detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £330,000 sits 364.8% above the 1998 sale of £71,000.
