The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year.
