About This Property

This detached flat is located in LONDON, E13 9BY. The property offers 51.23m² (551 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 (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. 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 £450, comprising £340 for heating, £68 for hot water, and £42 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
