At 51 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–90 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 26 units on file.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
