At 50 m² this is the 35th smallest of 89 units on EPC record in Bassett House, where floor areas span 39–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (58 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
