About This E-Rated Property
This flat is located in LONDON, E17 7PR. The property offers 40.7m² (438 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (47/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £727, comprising £490 for heating, £196 for hot water, and £41 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
