It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Malin Court (39–84 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (78 versus a best of 80).

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 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 is 17.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£357/sq ft) was about 41.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
