At 54 m² this is the 6th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–140 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 71). The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67).
