About This Property

This maisonette is located in LONDON, E17 8PL. The property offers 56m² (603 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £778, comprising £560 for heating, £172 for hot water, and £46 for lighting. The property produces 1.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
