At 105 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 85–152 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (85 versus a worst of 65).

Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 is 12.5% below the 2008 sale of £335,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since June 2008 — that's 18 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 105 m² it's 23.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 27 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs).
