About This Property

This terraced maisonette is located in SIDCUP, DA14 4AP. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1005, comprising £527 for heating, £392 for hot water, and £86 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
