The latest certificate (March 2024) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. At 50 m² this is the 5th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 12.1% below the 2007 sale of £149,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it's 23.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 31 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
