Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £446,000 sits 102.7% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 26.3% below the postcode norm. At 94 m² it's 27.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (130 m² median across 9 EPCs).
