The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2022 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

Held since July 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. At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 43.3% above the 2007 sale price.
