Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, SE3 0TP. The property offers 116m² (1249 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (4/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (54/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £3713, comprising £3291 for heating, £279 for hot water, and £143 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £975,000.
