The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 59% above the 2008 sale of £124,500.
