Get started16 Hernen Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 8BT). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
