At 53 m² this is the 7th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–55 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 84). The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
