At 59 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (59–85 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 20% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
