The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since July 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 11.3% above the 2007 sale price.
