About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LEIGH-ON-SEA, SS9 2XA. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1322, comprising £1085 for heating, £126 for hot water, and £111 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2017 for £580,000.
