About Opal House

The latest certificate (April 2024) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 63 m² this is the 7th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in Opal House, where floor areas span 52–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 42.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 27.1% below the postcode norm.
