At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Pembroke Court (34–48 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 13 units on file.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
