Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 43.6% below the postcode norm.
