At 76 m² this is the 59th smallest of 100 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–320 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 100 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
