About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, E16 1QY. The property offers 51.6m² (555 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £590, comprising £344 for heating, £209 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
