The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43).

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £545,000 sits 101.9% above the 2008 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 42.3% below the postcode norm.
