The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since January 2008 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Bassett Lowke House is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 1EQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Bassett Lowke House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Bassett Lowke House was lodged in November 2018 at band C and is valid until November 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Bassett Lowke House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
