Overview

About Ospreys

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Ospreys is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 48 m² this is the 6th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in Ospreys, where floor areas span 39–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 47.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 35.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 12 years since the last transfer (June 2014).
