At 55 m² this is the 10th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in Royal Court, where floor areas span 47–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 sits 254% above the 1996 sale of £43,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 62.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
