Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 54.1% below the 2022 sale of £575,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,047/sq ft) was about 345.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold June 2022 for £575,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
