At 64 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–64 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 10). The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 64 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 46 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 sits 67.4% above the 2008 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 32.5% below the postcode norm.
