Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (194 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 40.3% above the 2007 sale price.
