About This Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, SE18 4LB. The property offers 76m² (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1643, comprising £1171 for heating, £316 for hot water, and £156 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
