It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 60 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–197 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 42). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
