At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–50 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (July 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 12% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 35.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
