About This Property
This terraced house is located in LONDON, NW5 2XJ. The property offers 148.92m² (1603 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. 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. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1343, comprising £1097 for heating, £158 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 8.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
