About This Property
This flat is located in Thornton Heath, CR7 8NF. The property offers 65m² (700 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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.

Estimated annual energy costs are £674, comprising £445 for heating, £177 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 1.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
