This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since November 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 205.4% above the 1996 sale of £37,000.
