The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since August 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. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 is 47.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm.
