Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since February 2007 — 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 68.8% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 53.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 83 m² it's 27.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 12 EPCs).
