The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
