Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, N2 0RH. The property offers 178.88m² (1925 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (51/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1937, comprising £1640 for heating, £142 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2019 for £1,675,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of F, this property does not meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Since April 2020, landlords cannot legally let properties rated F or G without registering a valid exemption. Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to £30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
