Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 38.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 27.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
