The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2009.

Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 is 78.9% below the 2021 sale of £2,130,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,137/sq ft) was about 443.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 174 m² it's 19.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (215 m² median across 24 EPCs). Last sale on file: £2,130,000 in December 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
