At 79 m² this is the 15th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 58–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 17.5% below the 2007 sale of £143,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 17.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since June 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
