At 236 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (79–236 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2024); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
Today's modelled estimate of £651,000 is 38% below the 2022 sale of £1,050,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 236 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 12 planning records sit against the property, 12 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £1,050,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
