The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 is 33.1% above the 2007 sale price.
