At 75 m² this is the 14th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–136 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 21 units on file.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 sits 613.3% above the 2007 sale of £15,000.
