At 58 m² this is the 4th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–83 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 (61 versus a best of 79). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 is 27.9% above the 2007 sale price.
