About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached house is located in CROYDON, CR0 4HB. The property offers 197mยฒ (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 ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ2011, comprising ยฃ1813 for heating, ยฃ90 for hot water, and ยฃ108 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 ยฃ755,000.
