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

The latest certificate (July 2023) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61).

Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 is 14.9% below the 2010 sale of £235,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
