The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 224 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 74 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £429,000 sits 82.2% above the 2009 sale of £235,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 41.4% below the postcode norm.
