The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 20% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 434% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
