About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached flat is located in LONDON, SE3 9DJ. The property offers 60.12m² (647 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (56/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £792, comprising £656 for heating, £82 for hot water, and £54 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 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.
