The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 45 m² this is the 5th smallest of 44 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 44 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 is 33.6% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £110,000 in March 2021.
