The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2012.

Held since January 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 is 28.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 73.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
