About This E-Rated Property

This detached flat is located in LONDON, SW1V 2AB. The property offers 183.8m² (1978 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (40/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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. 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 £1998, comprising £1677 for heating, £147 for hot water, and £174 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2021 for £1,925,000.
