About Citygate

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. At 75 m² this is the 16th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in Citygate, where floor areas span 40–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
