Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

It hasn't traded since October 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. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 36.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 31.5% below the postcode norm.
