The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 101.5% above the 2009 sale of £67,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 35.1% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs).
