Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

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 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (151 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2006. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 is 15.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 157.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
