The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 38 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 76.7% above the 2007 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm.
