Canvey Island is a reclaimed island on the north side of the Thames estuary in Essex – it's only just above sea level and is separated from mainland Essex by a number of creeks. Its history is fairly long, however, as it's been inhabited since the Roman invasion of Britain in AD79.
Up until the last century, it was nearly all given over to agriculture but it became a notable seaside resort between 1911 and 1951. These days, it's protected by modern sea defences so is considerably less flood-prone than it once was.
It formed part of Britain's Second World War defences, with a line of concrete pillboxes built there to deter any German invasion. These days, the eastern half of the island has been fairly developed into residential areas and public amenities. There is a small holiday camp and touristy seafront. The west is mainly farmland, marsh and industrial areas.
In terms of landmarks and attractions, the West Canvey Marshes were acquired by the RSPB and Canvey Wick has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest as it a site which has claims to having one of the highest levels of biodiversity in Western Europe. It has several shopping areas with the town centre based around Furtherwick Road and the High Street. It's Movi-Starr is a modern multi-screen cinema and it has several arcades, an amusement park and nightclubs. It also hosts the well-renowned Lobster Smack public house, which is a Grade II listed building constructed originally in the 17th century. It is where the world-famous pub-rock band Dr. Feelgood hail from.

Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

How do I find out how much stamp duty I have to pay?
You always have to complete a stamp duty declaration to HMRC whenever you buy a home and this will be done on your behalf by your solicitor.
If the home you've bought is (or will be after you've sold your existing only home) your only home and primary residence and the price of your new home exceeds £125,000; you have to pay stamp duty, initially at 2% of the value exceeding £125,000.
If the home you've bought is a second home, you have to pay stamp duty on it if the value exceeds £40,000. For values ranging between £40,000 to £125,000, you have to pay stamp duty at 3% of the amount exceeding £40,000.
For property values exceeding £125,000, you additionally have to pay stamp duty of 5% of the value exceeding £125,000.
The higher the buying price, the higher the percentage of stamp duty you will pay. The next band covers buying prices ranging between £925,001 and £1.5 million and the stamp duty rates are 5% and 8% respectively.
