The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 is 10.7% below the 2007 sale of £149,995, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 21.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
