About 18 Beresford Avenue

The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 110 m² it's 28.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode.
