At 69 m² this is the 26th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–127 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2007–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 43.1% above the 2014 sale price.
