Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 88.1% above the 2007 sale of £151,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
