The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 55 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Harewood, where floor areas span 51–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 6 units on file.

It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £145,000 sits 262.5% above the 1998 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 59.8% below the postcode norm.
