It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (42–50 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008.

Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since April 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 is 19.5% above the 2009 sale price.
