At 40 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £96,000 is 43.3% above the 2008 sale price.
