Overview

About 5a

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

5a is a three-bedroom detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 7SW). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
