When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 26.1% below the 2007 sale of £245,000, 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 (£350/sq ft) was about 175.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since June 2007 — that's 19 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. At 65 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 32 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
