About 17 Cranleigh Drive
17 Cranleigh Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 1SX). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
