At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Bounsalls Court (40–71 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 54.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
