Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor.

The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 85.1% above the 2008 sale of £174,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm.
