5 Avenue Road, Leigh On Sea, SS9 1AX
About 5 Avenue Road
5 Avenue Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 55 m² this is the 5th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 62.8% above the 2008 sale of £187,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£318/sq ft) was about 53.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
