It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 71 m² this is the 18th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–365 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 205% above the 2000 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 55.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
