When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 11.4% below the 2023 sale of £140,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.
