About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in BEXLEY, DA5 3NF. The property offers 84.328m² (908 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (42/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1133, comprising £848 for heating, £199 for hot water, and £86 for lighting. The property produces 6.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
