About 8 Brookside
8 Brookside is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Canvey Island (SS8 9XY). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £330,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 67.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
