At 49 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (64 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

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. At 49 m² the property is well over the postcode median (38 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
