The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 sits 66% above the 2007 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£335/sq ft) was about 28% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 97 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 23 EPCs).
