At 42 m² this is the 4th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–96 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 15 units on file.

The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 765.1% above the 1996 sale of £21,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 74.3% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it's 24.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 14 EPCs).
