At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–150 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 (46 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 is 78.8% below the 2017 sale of £1,000,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. 36 planning records sit against the property, 19 approved, 17 refused. Past consents include an extension, change of use to residential and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in January 2017. At 40 m² it's 26.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 8 EPCs).
