About 12a
12a is a detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 7SW). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
