The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 is 73.7% below the 2022 sale of £775,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£4,235/sq ft) was about 2761.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 17 m² it sits well below the postcode median (47 m² across 68 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sale on file: £775,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
