About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached house is located in BARKING, IG11 9JA. The property offers 89.18m² (960 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (40/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). 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. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1361, comprising £1108 for heating, £182 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 7.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
