At 53 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (53–148 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2009) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 is 24% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£461/sq ft) was about 100.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
