Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,160,000 is 10.1% below the 2018 sale of £1,290,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.
