About 9 Downham Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

9 Downham Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.
