Overview

About 206 208

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 206 208 (37–63 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a C (score 71). Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 sits 67.2% above the 2007 sale of £125,000.
