About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in CROYDON, CR0 4HB. The property offers 197m² (2121 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2011, comprising £1813 for heating, £90 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2015 for £755,000.
