The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since January 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 38.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 88.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
