Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 76 m² it's 26.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 35 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 163.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
