This terraced flat is located in LONDON, W14 9AP. The property offers 47mยฒ (506 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (62/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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 ยฃ1,000-ยฃ3,000 depending on access and method. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ968, comprising ยฃ635 for heating, ยฃ273 for hot water, and ยฃ60 for lighting. The property produces 4.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
