3 Layton Place is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Kew, Richmond, Richmond (TW9 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. At 50 m² this is the 9th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–168 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 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. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 is 40.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£606/sq ft) was about 54.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
