Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 84 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 42.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
