The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2023. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 is 30.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
