At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 31 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
