At 93 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (35–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (26 versus a best of 57). The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 10.1% above the 2008 sale price.
