Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached bungalow is located in ROMFORD, RM5 3QS. The property offers 84.3m² (907 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £3246, comprising £2809 for heating, £358 for hot water, and £79 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2016 for £350,000.
