Overview

About 21 Highcliff Drive

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

21 Highcliff Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 sits 65% above the 2012 sale of £351,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
