At 49 m² this is the 11th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
