Local market context

The latest certificate (March 2023) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2020); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48).

At 290 m² the property is well over the postcode median (171 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 25 planning records sit against the property, 21 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, solar panel installation, new windows and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £990,000 is 16.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 51.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
