Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 12.4% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 34.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 45.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2010. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
