At 43 m² this is the 6th smallest of 59 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
