The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2011.

Held since August 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,076,000 sits 175.5% above the 2008 sale of £390,600. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 57.7% below the postcode norm.
