Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 is 40.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
