18 Cherry Close is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Canvey Island (SS8 9HT). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1145 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 106 m² it's 26.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 112.3% above the 2009 sale of £162,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm.
