At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (51–248 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (34 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale.

It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 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. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
