Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £744,000 sits 55% above the 2007 sale of £480,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 178 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (238 m² median across 13 EPCs).
