Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 130.5% above the 2009 sale of £181,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
