3a, Cliff Road, Leigh On Sea, SS9 1HJ
About 3a
3a is a two-bedroom detached house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 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 £299,000 sits 75.9% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
