About 48a

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

At 49 m² this is the 11th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 sits 50.5% above the 2013 sale of £210,000.
