Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, E7 9AW. The property offers 188m² (2024 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (4/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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. 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 £4631, comprising £4376 for heating, £114 for hot water, and £141 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £650,000.
