Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 69.7% above the 2007 sale of £228,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 85 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 7 EPCs).
