10 Brindles is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Canvey Island (SS8 9TG). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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 93 m² it's 17.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 20 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 120% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 21.8% below the postcode norm.
